Kenner is part of the metro N.O. area. And home to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. Plenty of things in this speech to bash McCain on. But this isn’t one of them.

I’d buy Oliver’s criticism if he told us more about his favorite team, the Landover Redskins.

all we need to do is inform women voters than McCain wants to overturn Roe vs. Wade and we should have the White House wrapped up.

Democrats have been doing that in every Presidential election since 1976.

Kenner, if memory serves is just west of metarie, which is just west of Nawlins. Kenner was a very upscale & very white suburb when I was in NOLA, but that was a long time ago.

Do you even know where Kenner is?

This must be what Eli Manning felt a few hours after winning the Superbowl. It feels great, obviously, but it’s kind of hard to fathom what a huge upset this was. It’ll take a while to sink in.

Congrats to Obama and those who put together what was arguably the most skillful campaign ever run in modern American politics.

Somehwere, Bob Shrum is weeping.

Oliver, I don’t know if you drink or not, but if you do, tonight’s a night to break out the good stuff.

This is a very historic occasion. At the start of the primary season I thought I’d be content if either Clinton or Obama won. I actually was harboring a wish to see eight years of Clinton followed by eight years of Obama. However, having observed the Hil, Bill, and Geraldine show, I’d be content to watch the Clintons ride off into oblivion.

However, that’s not going to happen, and perhaps it shouldn’t. Senator Clinton can be a great asset to an Obama campaign, but Bill has got to get the hell out of the way. I am not suggesting for one moment that she be chosen VP!

This really might be the time, in the next few days, say, for Senator Obama to give a speech on gender akin to the address he gave in Philadelphia on race. I have read two articles today by women journalists suggesting that.

I have never had as much hope for pro-social change as I’ve been feeling in the past few months. And I’m a member of the Silent Generation.

This is a wonderful day. I got permission to leave work an hour early because I told them I had a bad case of Obamaitis and the cure is watching MSNBC tonight.

It looks like voters will push Obama over the top, which is a nice touch. Now all we need to do is inform women voters than McCain wants to overturn Roe vs. Wade and we should have the White House wrapped up.

That is sort of the default position for Harold Ford. I like the guy but he can’t think outside of the box.

Dear Ms Bel Leong-Hong,

I think I love you.

Unrelated but I’m reading your blog and felt like venting, but could someone please tell Harold Ford that he needs to stop telling Barack to be conservative (the previous 2 times I saw him on MSNBC) or as he did just now asserting that his party identification might be his biggest problem to winning the nomination in the Fall?

I’m already seeing lots more “Hillary for VP” stories. I hope that doesn’t happen. If it does, we’ll be in for four years of “He’s stifling her!” and “She’s undermining him!”

This is really weird day. For the first time in a long time, I picked the right candidate from the beginning.

Way to go Barack!!!!
